I'm just flabbergasted that in 2016 (-15), our major systems are operating with single points of failure....it's incredible. This country is literally falling apart. Cabinet ministers and MPs should be working around the clock to determine the main issues facing the country and to hash out long term strategies. The country's foundation is crumbling and they want a new parliament building?
